Why you can't get what you want

observing messages thrown at you from nowhere in particular when doing meditation: While meditating, our brainwaves slow down. These brain frequencies were first recorded in humans by Professor Emeritus, Hans Berger, University of Jena Germany in 1924. Berger discovered the Alpha and Beta waves. The alpha wave, also called Berger's wave, has a slower frequency (7-13 Hz) than the Beta wave (14 -22 Hz). When we open our eyes, much of the brain's attention is directed into interpreting incoming visual messages, and by doing so, creating a sort of blockade, the alpha blockade. While in the beta wave state, which is our normal waking state, much of the anxious thinking appears, stress is a familiar factor, and most reactions, plans, and decisions are taking place.

It is the alpha state which is sought after while meditating. In this state, the brain shows us that reality is in the eyes of the beholder. Any given situation can be interpreted by the brain-mind on different levels and with multiple conclusions. As our brain slows down, we find more harmony in a stressed-filled hostile world. Creativity and intuition appear, and our infinite capacity to give and receive love becomes apparent.

The creator of the Silva Method, Dr. Jose Silva discovered in a life long research that began in 1944 that it is possible for the individual to switch at will from the beta state into the alpha, by following a series of steps. He demonstrated with the Silva Method that with the right coaching, the field of meditation was open for all. And that with the right seeds planted in the mind-garden, very good crops could grow..

There are some speculations about the Gamma brain waves, which are fast frequency patterns of brain waves (26-70 Hz). They might happen when one perceives high level information. This is often taking place during awakening time, or early in the morning, which is also the best time to meditate.

The Cambridge Dictionaries online defines intuition as: "(knowledge obtained from) an ability to understand, or know something immediately without needing to think about it, learn it, or discover it by using reason".

The trained observer of thoughts, will write any idea that comes to mind, at any moment, day or night, as it is fast gone, and might not be possible to retrieve later. Imagine how many of those bright ideas we regard as insignificant in a life time..

"I think and think for months, for years. Ninety-nine times the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right." - Albert Einstein.

Keep searching between all these(written)ideas, and you might find one that is applicable and ready to be used by you in the near future.

Another good practice is to make a list of your goals and write them in big letters as a sort of a physical manifestation. You probably read that somewhere else already, but here is a great supplementary idea: Compare your notes to your list of goals and keep discarded, unfulfilled goals together with the other notes. It could take some time for the multiverse to come up with the appropriate information, so be patient

The person attuned to the LoA Mode, should check his notes every now and then, and give attention to what is relevant at a given moment. The rest should be kept in a safe and dry place, as it might be relevant only in a few years time. Understanding that the universe and our world are constantly evolving, so what seemed to be a crazy notion, becomes extremely valuable with time. How this knowledge is being intercepted and in which way it penetrates the brain-mind is not entirely clear. However, one does not need to know much about water in order to drink it, or even swim in it.
